By their irises, ye shall know them.

Is it the real Gordon Cooper? Anything could have happened during those 3.3 million miles he traveled aboard Gemini 5. But ...the Scanner knows...

Returning space stationeers and the rest of the off-planet crowd will likely have to do the eye scan before being set loose on Terra. Ditto for Terrans boarding the coming orbital mini-earths?

Could be soon...In the ongoing slouch towards Dystopia, England is taking the Great Leap Forward: all UK-ers re-entering their kingdom from elsewhere shall shortly have to pass biometric screens before disembarking on Albion's shore; with universal biometry of all Britons but a few years off, and offplanet eye-dee-ing before we know it.
